The Milan collections are always my favorite! The Italians seem to have the most interesting and creative way of mixing colors and textures in their fashions. Rich fabrics and colors take center stage with accessories as their crowning jewel!

The Italian designers are best known for their leather accessories design in the categories of shoes of handbags and more recently gloves have played an important role on the runways of Milan.

After reviewing the New York and London Fall 2010 collections, I have been most inspired and excited by the jewels shown on the runways of Milan! Most of what was shown was shown in gold tone finish.

Dolce & Gabanna Fall 2010

I love the mix of elements that Dolce &Gabanna used in their jewelry. It was an eclectic and vintage inspired collage of hearts, religious symbols, filligree findings, lockets, pins and flowers. I loved the statement necklaces, kilt charm pins and the use of decorated Ipod holders and headphones.

The overall vibe of the Milan collections was “The Smart, Sexy, Powerful, yet feminine woman”. There were many great daytime career looks and great pantsuits.

Other favorite collections of mine were Dsquared, Moschino, Marni and Gucci.

While most of the jewelry shown in Milan was feminine and busy, Gucci simply showed a gold, modern neckplate-choker in 2 widths, coupled with a wide cuff or thin buckle style bangle.

I have provided pictures of my favorite looks for your enjoyment and inspiration. Visit Style.com to see the complete collections of all the designers from New York, London, Milan and Paris 2010.
